I have had the privilege of living in this borough for nearly twenty years, I am a hardworking dedicated person, deeply committed to my community and pursuing its best interests.

Full statement

I have worked for Transport for London for nearly twenty-six years and I have served this community for nearly twenty years through my job as well as through various community work with children and young people with special needs, mental health issues and drug related issues. I myself am a father of a special needs son and I have lot of experience dealing with special needs children. I believe this borough needs to improve immensely in dealing with their needs.

I am honoured to be running for the position of councillor of the Mayesbrook Ward for the Conservative Party. I am passionate about improving on local areas. I will be committed to acting as a strong collaborative voice for the resilient residents of Mayesbrook Ward as well as the whole borough of Barking and Dagenham. Council tax is another big issue for our borough, if Local Conservatives are elected we will freeze council tax.

We will make our ward as well as the borough a safer and a cleaner place as well as improving parking availability for our local residents. I am also deeply concerned about drug use and abuse by the young people of our borough and many of them are suffering. And if we are elected we will take this issue very seriously and we will support these young people in the best way possible. If elected we hope to work closely with law enforcement to improve crime prevention in our borough.
